 Return to: Academic Department, Degree and Program Information
Goals and Objectives:
- Command of core areas in both pure and applied mathematics, including but not limited to real and complex analysis, linear algebra, ordinary and partial differential equations.
- Mastery of a particular applied or engineering field and how mathematics is used in that field.
- Readiness for a variety of career options following graduation, including, but not limited to graduate study in applied mathematics, engineering, medicine, as well as professional careers in consulting, business & finance, and technology.
Rationale:
The Tandon B.S. in Mathematics program is designed to provide a student with the knowledge and skills needed to both start a career in a mathematically-oriented field and adapt easily to changes in both the field and one’s career directions. The program has the following components:
- A core set of required fundamental mathematics courses
- Mathematics electives
- A cohesive set of courses that focus on a particular field of engineering. The student works together with their advisor to choose these courses appropriately.
Students must complete 126 credits, as defined below, to graduate from the NYU Tandon School of Engineering with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. Please note that the curriculum that follows applies to students who began classes in the Fall of 2022 or later.
The NYU Tandon School of Engineering also offers a Physics and Mathematics, B.S. which is a dual major in both subjects.

Requirements for the Bachelor of Science
Core Mathematics Requirements: 48 Credits
Other Required Courses: 27 Credits
Math Electives: 8 Credits
Students should select two math elective courses totaling at least 8 credits.
Other Electives: 28 Credits
Note: EXPOS-UA 1 and EXPOS-UA 2 do not count toward the Humanities and Social Sciences Elective requirement of 16 credits.
- 12 credits are reserved for free electives, with advisor’s approval.
Required Engineering Components: 15 credits
Students should select four to five engineering courses totaling at least 15 credits in Engineering Components. The Engineering Component of the B.S. in Mathematics Program must be in at least one of the following disciplines:
- Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Computer Engineering
- Computer Science
- Electrical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Robotics
Interdisciplinary components involving two or more of the fields above will be considered. The courses comprising a math major’s engineering component must be approved in advance by an official Mathematics Department advisor.
Sample engineering courses in Engineering Components are listed after the next section.
